The Village Green Project demonstrates the capabilities of real-time monitoring technology for citizen scientists to learn about local air quality. The program's pilot project in Durham, NC has been able to monitor several common air pollutants in real-time and make the data available online and by smartphone. The Village Green Project is expanding to five other locations across the U.S. to evaluate the station's operation under different weather conditions and to increase awareness of the availability of this new community-based air pollution measurement system. Each station provides minute-to-minute air measurements for ozone, particulate matter, and weather data to the public online. Learn more about the project
